Super funky fame!

You remember my Vollare Roxy 353 manicure, right? Look what I did to it.



My two coats of the Vollare with one coat of NYX Girls Fame on top! I know, I know, my kitchen sink is the closest I get to a lightbox, okay? I haven't topcoated this manicure yet, hence the bumbiness. Still. Pretty.

But it wasn't enough. I had dragged out another bottle along with Fame, because I had a certain look in mind.



Two coats of NYX Girls Super Funk on top of all the rest. Nice, huh? It even caught the attention, in a positive way, of the elders I'm attending for a living. A 93 year old lady exclaimed "The colors!!!". If it means anything, she has a past in the clothing business. Still. Pretty.

Super Funk was a bit hard to apply though, as it has a lot more clear bulk and therefore you may have to try to pick out the glitter and do multiple layers if you want more than just two or three dots of the smallish glitter pieces. Still. Totally worth it.

A brave new brand

At least for me! This is another one from the beautiful package Saša sent me, Vollare Roxy 353. After I had carefully gone through all the beauties as I unpacked, this one was calling my name the most. As so often with me, it's the polishes I didn't expect to get, or even knew existed, that really grabs my attention. And this Vollare polish... The bottle seemed full of beauty!




Can you disagree? This is two coats of this wonderful fluid, and even though it was a bit tricky applicationwise, it was worth it. Oh man do my nails glitz! The base is actually more aubergine colored, but the shimmer seems to be of a bluetoned glassfleck kind, and it's heavy enough to transform the polish entirely.

I'm so glad Saša decided to gift me this one. Thank you honey!

But most Swedes use the word aubergine for this veggie.
